A Few Words From the Principal
Making the Last Days Count
It is hard to believe that Thursday is our last day of the 2024-2025 school year. Consider talking with your student about making these days the best that they can be. Here is some information to help you and your student be prepared for next week.
Monday - this will look like a normal school day.
Tuesday - this will look like a normal school day.
We will wear gray to recognize brain tumor awareness month. Give back night at Culver's with 10% of the proceeds going to the Brave Like McKenna Foundation from 5-8PM.
Wednesday - All grades will be celebrating successes and wrapping up the school year.
6th grade will be having Field Day
7th grade will be having tropical fun
8th grade will be having a kickball tournament
We will be cleaning out lockers and taking everything home.
8th grade Awards Celebration 5:30PM followed by the 8th Grade Farewell Celebration in the front of the school around 6:15PM. All 8th graders will have a packet containing awards and/or a memory to keep from MTMS as well as a treat from PTA.
Thursday - LAST DAY of School. Students will only need to bring something to sign yearbooks/ memory pages and maybe something to carry their yearbook home in after school. Students will receive their yearbooks on this day. If they did not order a yearbook they will receive a memory page that they can have people sign. Please encourage your student to write appropriate messages in yearbooks. PTA will also be providing custard and appropriate alternates to all of our students. 11:00 we will line the halls and clap our 8th grade students out of the building and the 6th and 7th graders will follow. School is dismissed at 11:12.
Friday - NO School!! Have a GREAT summer!

8th Grade Students - Check Skyward
8th Grade students, we will be recognizing those of you with perfect attendance, good attendance, and no tardies. Please look in Skyward to check your attendance.
Since this semester is not complete, we cannot recognize 2nd Semester Honor Roll. However, we will be recognizing students who have made the honor roll through out their middle school years. Please check your student Skyward accounts for more information on how many times you have made the honor roll.
We are looking forward to celebrating these honors as well as several others with you on Wednesday night at the 8th Grade Awards Celebration.
